Bugsy's first Holiday Season!

Bugsy  turned 10 months on November 12th! In two months he will be a year old. It's hard to believe that his first year is coming to an end. We have had tears, lots of tears, some laughs and smiles. No good journey is without its trials. Everything we have endured has made me a stronger person and has shown my kids that with Christ Jesus anything is possible.

This was his first Halloween and the kids were excited to dress him up , take him out and basically annoy him to no end. He was a tiger, it was so cute and he hated it. Lol. It was ok for the first few minutes but after he got tired of having his head covered. Along with the fact that he still had an ear infection and was on his second round of antibiotics....Biaxin. We were praying this would work. Can you imagine having two ear infections and teething, Ouch!

Well the Biaxin didn't work! Not completely anyway. His left ear is nice and clear but that right ear is still infected, so round three Bactram. That's a big dog, it kills everything! I also worry because his dad is allergic to sulfa and recently so is my youngest daughter. What are the odds nene would also be allergic? Like everything else Bugsy, its in the hands of our Heavenly Father and he has always taken care of my baby and our family.

His first Thanksgiving with so much to be thankful for, we spent the day with friends. He ate turkey, arroz con gandules, salad, pumpkin and apple pie. He loves food! Which for a child who was having trouble gaining weight is great!

As we go into the Christmas holiday, I have been blessed with a miracle all mine own, Bugsy! God has never let me endure hardship uncovered by his grace. Now this year is coming to a close and my son is healthy, thriving and a greater gift than I ever imagined. He is my rainbow, a constant reminder of God's promise, power, never ending grace and love.  Forever I will sing his praises and never will I forget who Jesus Christ is in my life. May I be a light on to others, who are going through their own journey, that with Jesus , even the hard times , will eventually become easy. 

God bless you all and Happy Holidays!
